Hand Tooled Leather Credit Card Wallets

[Hand Tooled Leather Credit Card Wallets]

Thanks abn, how are you by the way? I remember you from when I first started posting here about a year or two ago?

I really like the aged look you're able to give these wallets. Very nice.

[Hand Tooled Leather Credit Card Wallets]

Thanks Rcsaddles, and yes so true, only our imagination limits us. Always thinking of what do to next is the key

Cheers

Very nice. You are only limited by your imagination.

[Hand Tooled Leather Credit Card Wallets]

Here are some of our latest leather credit card wallets. Slim design which features 1 x I.D. slot and 3 x credit card slots. Made from Oak Leaf leather which is treated / tan very similar to that of Veg Tan Leather. Exterior on most of these wallets has been distressed and hand rubbed with dye to give a vintage - aged look. We use thin suede for an interior.

Have a great Friday

[Apple Ipad Leather & Felt Wool Sleeves]

We have been hard at work expanding our product line. These are some of our newest Ipad Leather & Wool sleeves we have designed. Some are made from veg tan leather which has been hand rubbed & tooled, while others are made from Latigo. All cases are cushioned with a Felt Wool interior for a secure and comfortable fit. An Apple Ipad will sleep like a baby.

Hope everyone is having a great day.

[My first shot at a stingray inlay]

Thats really cool how you did the lacing on the dark green (black?) one. Really gives it a neat look

Thanks and it's Black Stingray Hide

[My first shot at a stingray inlay]

How was it working with Stingray for you? From our experience it's the toughest exotic hide to work with but the finish is absolutely stunning specially when using the Star section of the hide.

Check out our Stingray Star Leather Cuff we just made available on our site.

[Second Wrist Cuff]

Very nice work and I definitely agree with Vikti on heating up the metal and curving them a bit.

That is a one of the things we do with our silver pieces on our 925 Collection.

[Some bracers and a pouch I made today...]

Very nice work .. good craftmanship

[My First Leather Bracer]

That's a great-looking bracer. . . rather clean and neat. What size grommets (eyelets?) are those and where do you buy them?

Thanks very much,

L'Bum

Hey Leather Bum thanks for the comment. We are actually going to introduce a line of bracers which will also incorporate our tooling skills. The size I can't remember of the top of my head but you can find them at Tandy's Leather Factory http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/

[My First Leather Bracer]

Good looking bracer there Joe!!

The colour combo is great and I like the shape.

Tom

Hey Tom,

I had a feeling you might like it, the thought was running through my mind as I was posting the topic.

Thanks, -J

[My First Leather Bracer]

Hey Guys,

This is my first leather bracer. I'm using exotic lizard hide for the cross.

Lizard hide is my favorite skin to work with. It has a very smooth texture with an elegant look.

Let me know what you guys think?

I went ahead an posted some behind the scene photos of the bracer along with some other leather cuffs we made that day.

[good design on a cuff / I thought]

Nice looking cuff and it should sell well. I was actually in the process of coming out with some leather cuffs displaying some authentic buffalo nickels. You beat me .. good job mate ..

[Exotic Leather Hide & Silver Charms Bracelet]

Cool Joe.

Do you have to use a special needle to sew the sting ray? Any tips on working with it?

Thanks,

Art

Hey Arts,

When dealing with Stingray there is really no needle type that I prefer. Instead when purchasing Stingray Hides, I do my best to find Stingray hides that have small size crystals heads that way it's not so tough to work with.

Hope that helps.

[Exotic Stingray Hide Leather Cuff]

I went to your site and thought the price was very reasonable, though I'm sure the rest of the stingray skin won't go to waste in your shop, like you point out, there is only one star per skin. And stingray isn't cheap. And I've broken a few needles and said some bad words messing around away from the star. I like the classic design- you should have a more "feminine" version though, and charge even more for it. You'll get it. Nice work- thanks for sharing.

(If people knew what stingray really was and what a bear it is to work with it, it would be even more valuable!)

Johanna

Johanna,

I'm very pleased to hear someone out there knows and appreciates the work involved when using Stingray Hide. Stingray is one of the toughest hides to work with because of it's outer crystal like surface. The crystal type surface is hard and un-even making it very easy for needles to brake and gear crooked when stitching.

We are actually in the process of coming out with more feminine designs using all types of exotic leather hides. Do you have any samples of your work we may see?

Thanks, -J

The Stingray Star is an eye shape pattern found on the outter skin surface of each Stingray.

There is only one star symbol per Stingray hide, making the Stingray Star a commodity.

Hey Art,

Thanks for the kind work. I'm glad you like the design.

Hey Joe!!

Welcome back!!

Nice cuffs as usual, looks like you're getting more and more into carving and tooling!!

Tom

Hey Tom,

[I'm Back - Joe V. from UrbanWrist.com]

Welcome back and excellent looking wristbans.

That inlayed cross idea is really cool.

Thanks MadMax22, it's one of those things if something comes to mind, we try to capture it and bring it to life.

There is times we fail and there is times we succeed.

[I'm Back - Joe V. from UrbanWrist.com]

Hey Guys,

It's been a while since I last posted on LeatherWorker.net but I'm glad to be back. These past few months have been pretty busy for us. We were asked to be sponsors for Rock on the Range exclusive interviews by Cage Rattle (www.cagerattle.com) as well as dealing with a new identity and look to the site (www.urbanwrist.com).

We've added some new collections to our arsenal of leather cuffs which use 92.5% silver charms along with exotic hides (snakes, lizard, crocodile, and stingray), as well as our Distressed Collection which displays our distressing techniques. Check out the 925 collection by going to the following link: 925 Collection. You can view our Distressed collection by clicking on the following link: Distressed Collection

We are also proud to announce that we will be designing new belts and watch bands which will be accessible via our website soon.

I've attached some of our recent leather cuffs, please comment and let me know what you think.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Thanks, -J

[Hand Carved Crosses Leather Cuff By Joe V.]

I had some stuff going on lately that kinda kept me off leathers a bit but hey, it's just those things that happen to you in life..I'm picking up more and more and have some interests from customers but taking one day at the time and don't stress with it. I just finished a eyeglasses case for a dude. Didn't have the glasses available to work with so kinda worked in the blind, lol. He's testing it now so we'll see if it'll be a redo or if he is happy but sounds like he liked it alot. I think it was to simple he he.

Keep it up, you're good with bracers!!!

Tom

It happens Tom, it took us about 6 months to a year to actually get our stuff together before we created the website. It's just one of those things where things always get in the way.

I'm sure your client will like your work, and thanks we are trying to expand from just bracers and are going to include watchbands and more leather belts, so lets see how that goes.

Cheers mate

[Hand Carved Crosses Leather Cuff By Joe V.]

Beautiful bracer!!

I use the same tecnique with putting on the antique in a streay fashion and just love the way it looks.

Nice carving...are we going to see some tooling in the future too??

Tom

Hey Tom,

Yea what is Brown and Antique on a distressed finished always looks nice. My father Joe V. Senior is actually taking up tooling classes as we speak, so hopefully soon you guys will be seeing some tooling coming from us.

How is your biz coming along?
